Kinetics of muscle deoxygenation and microvascular PO2 during contractions in rat: comparison of optical spectroscopy and phosphorescence-quenching techniques. J Appl Physiol 112: 26-32, 2012. First published October 6, 2011; doi:10.1152/japplphysiol.00925.2011.-The overarching presumption with near-infrared spectroscopy measurement of muscle deoxygenation is that the signal reflects predominantly the intramuscular microcirculatory compartment rather than intramyocyte myoglobin (Mb). To test this hypothesis, we compared the kinetics profile of muscle deoxygenation using visible light spectroscopy (suitable for the superficial fiber layers) with that for microvascular O-2 partial pressure (i.e., PmvO(2), phosphorescence quenching) within the same muscle region (0.5 similar to 1 mm depth) during transitions from rest to electrically stimulated contractions in the gastrocnemius of male Wistar rats (n = 14). Both responses could be modeled by a time delay (TD), followed by a close-to-exponential change to the new steady level. However, the TD for the muscle deoxygenation profile was significantly longer compared with that for the phosphorescencequenching PmvO(2) [8.6 +/- 1.4 and 2.7 +/- 0.6 s (means +/- SE) for the deoxygenation and PmvO(2), respectively; P < 0.05]. The time constants (tau) of the responses were not different (8.8 +/- 4.7 and 11.2 +/- 1.8 s for the deoxygenation and PmvO(2), respectively). These disparate (TD) responses suggest that the deoxygenation characteristics of Mb extend the TD, thereby increasing the duration (number of contractions) before the onset of muscle deoxygenation. However, this effect was insufficient to increase the mean response time. Somewhat differently, the muscle deoxygenation response measured using near-infrared spectroscopy in the deeper regions (similar to 5 mm depth) (similar to 50% type I Mb-rich, highly oxidative fibers) was slower (tau = 42.3 +/- 6.6 s; P < 0.05) than the corresponding value for superficial muscle measured using visible light spectroscopy or PmvO(2) and can be explained on the basis of known fiber-type differences in PmvO(2) kinetics. These data suggest that, within the superficial and also deeper muscle regions, the tau of the deoxygenation signal may represent a useful index of local O-2 extraction kinetics during exercise transients.
